5 Installation

Danger! Risk of scalding and/or damage due to
incorrect installation leading to escaping water.
Mechanical stresses in the connection pipes may lead to leaks.
Ensure that there is no mechanical stress
when installing the connection pipes.
Caution. Risk of material damage caused by
residues in the pipelines.
Welding remnants, sealing residues, dirt or other residues in the pipelines may damage the product.
Flush the heating installation thoroughly
before installing the product.

5.1 Checking the gas meter

Caution. Risk of material damage due to heat trans-
fer during soldering.
Only solder connectors if the connectors
are not yet screwed to the service valves.
Note
Apply heat insulation to the water pipes to the boiler outlet and to the installation.
Preliminary work
1. Check that the system volume and the volumetric capa­city of the expansion vessel are compatible.
If the volume of the expansion vessel is insufficient
for the installation.
Install an additional expansion vessel in the
heating return, as close to the product as pos­sible.
Install a non-return valve at the product's outlet
(heating flow).
2. Ensure that the installation has the following compon­ents:
A cold water stopcock for the unitA gas stopcock for the unitA filling and draining device in the heating installa-
tion
Make sure that the existing gas meter is capable of
passing the rate of gas supply required.

5.2 Gas and water connections

Caution. Risk of damage caused by incorrect gas
connection installation.
Excess test pressure or operating pressure may cause damage to the gas valve.
Check the leak-tightness of the gas valve
using a maximum pressure of 11 kPa (110 mbar).
Caution. Risk of material damage caused by corro-
sion
Due to non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes in the heating installation, air gets into the heating water. Air in the heating water causes corro­sion in the heat generator circuit and in the product.
If you use non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes
in the heating installation, ensure that no air gets into the heat generator circuit.

2. Purge the gas pipe before start-up.
3. Check whether the connections (Page 21) are leak-
tight.

5.3 Connecting the drain pipework for the expansion relief valve

Ensure that the pipeline is visible.The pipe must have a continuous fall and be routed to a
position so that any discharge of water, possibly boiling, or steam cannot create any danger to persons, damage to property or external electrical components and wiring.
The piping must be installed in such a way that you
can see when water drips out.
During installation remove all burrs from inside of cut pipe
work and avoid excessive adhesive which may trap small pockets of water close to the pipe wall which can freeze and build into a larger ice plug.
For any installation the condensate must be free flowing
and not be possible for air back-pressure to prevent wa­ter flow.
As with other pipe work insulate the condensate dis-
charge pipe to minimise any risk of freezing and beware when crossing cavities that the fall is maintained and the pipe sleeved.
You can find further information in specification "BS 6798" for installing and maintaining gas-fired boilers with a nominal heat input below 70 kW.

5.4.1 Condensate drainage systems

5.4.1.1 Internal soil and vent pipe

5.4 Connecting the condensate discharge pipe

Follow the instructions listed here and observe the legal
and local regulations on condensate discharge.
Use PVC or any other material that is suitable for drain-
ing the non-neutralised condensate.
If you cannot guarantee that the materials from which the
drain pipework is made are suitable, install a system for neutralising the condensate.
Note
The condensate drain pipework must have a continuous fall (45 mm per metre) and should whenever possible terminate at a suitable drain point within the heated envelope of the building that will remain frost free under long periods of low external temperatures.
5.4.1.2 External soil and vent pipe
Connect the condensate traps (1). Use the supplied drain
hose (2) for this.
Connect a condensate discharge pipe (21.5 mm, not
included in the scope of delivery) to the drain hose (2).

7.3 Checking and treating the heating water/filling and supplementary water

Caution. Risk of material damage due to poor-qual-
ity heating water
Ensure that the heating water is of suffi-
cient quality.
Before filling or topping up the installation, check the
quality of the heating water.
Checking the quality of the heating water
Remove a little water from the heating circuit.Check the appearance of the heating water.If you ascertain that it contains sedimentary materials,
you must desludge the installation.
Use a magnetic rod to check whether it contains mag-
netite (iron oxide).
If you ascertain that it contains magnetite, clean the in-
stallation and apply suitable corrosion-protection meas­ures, or fit a magnetic filter.
Check the pH value of the removed water at 25 °C.If the value is below 6.5 or above 8.5, clean the system
and treat the heating water.
Ensure that oxygen cannot get into the heating water.
Checking the filling and supplementary water
Before filling the installation, measure the hardness of the
filling and supplementary water.
Treating the filling and supplementary water
Observe all applicable national regulations and technical
standards when treating the filling and supplementary water.
Provided the national regulations and technical standards do not stipulate more stringent requirements, the following applies:
You must treat the heating water in the following cases:
– If the entire filling and supplementary water quantity dur-
ing the operating life of the system exceeds three times the nominal volume of the heating installation, or
– If the guideline values listed in the following table are not
met, or
– if the pH value of the heating water is less than 6.5 or
more than 8.5.

Caution. The use of unsuitable heating water may
cause aluminium corrosion and a result­ing lack of leak-tightness.
In contrast to steel, grey cast iron or copper, for example, aluminium reacts with alkaline heating water (pH value > 8.5) to produce substantial corrosion.
When using aluminium, make sure that
the pH value of the heating water is between 6.5 and a maximum of 8.5.
Caution. Risk of material damage if the heating
water is treated with unsuitable additives.
Unsuitable additives may cause changes in the components, noises in heating mode and possibly subsequent damage.
Do not use any unsuitable frost and cor-
rosion protection agents, biocides or seal­ants.

F Inspection and maintenance work – Overview

The table below lists the manufacturer requirements with respect to minimum inspection and maintenance intervals. If na­tional regulations and directives require shorter inspection and maintenance intervals, you should observe these instead of the intervals listed in the table.
Maintenance
No. Work
Check the air/flue pipe for leak-tightness and to ensure that it is fastened correctly. Make sure
1
that it is not blocked or damaged and has been installed in accordance with the relevant In­stallation Manual.
Check the general condition of the product. Remove any dirt from the product and the vacuum
2
chamber.
Visually inspect the general condition of the heat exchanger. In doing so, pay particular atten-
3
tion to signs of corrosion, rust and other defects. If you notice any damage, carry out mainten­ance work.
Check the gas connection pressure at maximum heat input. If the gas connection pressure is
4
not within the specified range, carry out maintenance work.
Check the COcontent (air ratio) of the product and, if necessary, adjust it.
5
Disconnect the product from the power mains. Check that the plug connections and electrical
6
connections are correct and make any necessary adjustments.
Close the gas isolator cock and the service valves.
7
Drain the product on the water side. Check the pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel,
8
and top up the vessel if necessary (approx. 0.03 MPa/0.3 bar under the system filling pres­sure).
9 Check the ignition electrode. X X
Remove the gas-air mixture unit.
10
Replace both burner seals each time it is opened and accordingly each time maintenance
11
work is carried out.
Clean the heat exchanger.
12
Section "Cleaning the heat exchanger"
Check the burner for damage and replace it if necessary.
13
Check the condensate siphon in the product, clean it and, if required, replace it.
14
Section "Cleaning the condensate siphon"
Install the gas-air mixture unit. Caution: Replace the seals.
15
If necessary, if the hot water output is insufficient or the outlet temperature is not reached,
16
replace the plate heat exchanger.
Clean the filter in the cold water inlet. Replace the filter if impurities can no longer be removed
17
or if the filter is damaged. If this is the case, also check that the impeller sensor is not dirty or damaged. Clean the sensor (do not use compressed air) and, if it is damaged, replace it.
Open the gas isolator cock, reconnect the product to the mains and switch it on.
18
If the automatic purging programme does not start, open the service valves, fill the product
19
or the heating installation to 0.1-0.2 MPa/1.0-2.0 bar (depending on the static height of the heating installation) and manually start the purging programme P.07.
Perform a test operation of the product and heating installation, including hot water generation
20
(if available), and purge the system once more if necessary.
21 Check the COcontent (the air ratio) of the product again.
Ensure that no gas, flue gas, water or condensate is leaking from the product. Restore leak-
22
tightness if necessary.
Record the inspection/maintenance work carried out.
23
*Note: For those appliances which are not part of an annual service agreement/policy, maintenance must be carried out at least every 5 years.

G.2 Horizontal terminal positioning

BS 5440-1 recommends that fanned flue chimney terminals should be positioned as follows:
a) at least 2 m from an opening in the building directly opposite, and
b) so that the products of combustion are not directed to discharge directly across a boundary if the products are likely to cause a nuisance to a neighbour or discharge over a walkway or patio.
For IE see current issue of IS 813.
For boilers covered within this manual.
1) Dimensions D, E, F and G:
These clearances may be reduced to 25 mm without affecting the performance of the boiler. In order to ensure that the con­densate plume does not affect adjacent surfaces the terminal should be extended as shown below.
2) Dimension H:
This clearance may be reduced to 25 mm without affecting the performance of the boiler. However, in order to ensure that the condensate plume does not affect adjacent surfaces a clearance of 300 mm is preferred.
For 1 and 2 above you can use a flue gas management kit to enable the termination point to be positioned and directed away from the building fabric.

PRIOR TO CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK
The boiler manufacturer’s installation instructions should have been followed, gas type verified and gas
supply pressure/rate checked as required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, especially where a flue has been fitted by persons other than the
boiler installer, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to confirm that all components are
correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that manufacturer’s max. flue lengths have not been
exceeded and all guidance has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Technical Bulletin TB008).
The flue gas analyser should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967
Prior to its use, the flue gas analyser should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the
manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser.
Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR as per analyser manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE
THE AIR GAS RATIO VALVE IS FACTORY
SET AND MUST NOT BE ADJUSTED
DURING COMMISSIONING UNLESS THIS
ACTION IS RECOMMENDED FOLLOWING
CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER.
If any such adjustment is recommended and
further checking of the boiler is required the installer/service engineer must be competent to carry out this work and to use the flue gas
analyser accordingly.
If the boiler requires conversion to operate with
a different gas family (e.g. conversion from
natural gas to LPG) separate guidance will be
provided by the boiler manufacturer
CARRY OUT FLUE INTEGRITY CHECK USING ANALYSER
Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point and allow readings to stabilise.
NOTE - where no air inlet test point is provided then a flue integrity check
with the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify that flue
integrity has been visually checked in accordance with the “Prior to CO
and combustion ratio check” box above before proceeding to the
“Check CO and combustion ratio at maximum rate” stage below.
SET BOILER TO MINIMUM RATE
In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at minimum rate (to
minimum load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise.
NOTE - If manufacturer’s instructions do not specify how to set boiler to minimum
rate contact Technical Helpline for advice.
CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MINIMUM RATE
With boiler still set at minimum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas sampling
point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording.
NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is not
specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.
CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MAX. RATE
With boiler still set at maximum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas
sampling point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording.
NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is
not specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.
SET BOILER TO MAXIMUM RATE
In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at max. rate
(full load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise.
NOTE - Do not insert analyser probe during this period to avoid
possible “flooding” of sensor.

Ensure test points are capped, boiler case is correctly replaced and
all other commissioning procedures are completed.
Complete Benchmark Checklist, recording CO and combustion ratio
readings as required.
TURN OFF APPLIANCE AND CALL
MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL HELPLINE
FOR ADVICE.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE
IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
VERIFY FLUE INTEGRITY
Analyser readings indicate that combustion products and inlet air must be mixing. Further investigation of
the flue is therefore required.
Check that flue components are assembled, fixed
and supported as per boiler/flue manufacturer’s
instructions.
Check that flue and flue terminal are not obstructed.

CO less than
335ppm
and
CO/CO2 ratio less

Check all seals around the appliance burner,
internal flue seals, door and case seals.
Rectify where necessary.
TURN OFF APPLIANCE AND CALL
MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL HELPLINE
FOR ADVICE.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE
IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED. IF
COMMISSIONING CANNOT BE FULLY
COMPLETED, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE
